<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>Why don't I go since I
still live in AZ? Well, Siarlys, Arizona comprises </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>about 114,006 square miles
and is roughly 400 miles long and about 310 miles </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>wide. That's an
awful big piece of land to wander around in, wouldn't you </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>say? And Punkin
Center is on a small highway that leads from a busy state </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>highway in the middle of
the state to a podunk town called Globe out in the </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>middle of nowhere.
Lake Roosevelt happens to be on that road. Since I no </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>longer go to the Lake, I
don't pass by there. Besides, Punkin Center held </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>nothing much back then and
still does it's best to maintain status quo. We </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>didn't go down that road
when I was a kid to go to the lake, because my </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>family wasn't a lake kind
of family. We don't fish, boat, or ski. We went </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>there to take friends and
visitors to see the Roosevelt Dam. Until </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>recently, you drove right
across the dam! It was exciting!</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have no idea how Punkin
Center got its name. I'll ask my dad later today. </FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>He's a native and knows a
LOT about this land.</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>> Well, what does
"Punkin" signify? Was it NAMED by "some hick who didn't</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>> know how to speak?"
Or is it the the name of the family that first moved</FONT></SPAN></P>
<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>> there? Or is it just
the name of the place for no reasons anybody knows?</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P dir=ltr><SPAN lang=en-us><FONT face=Arial size=2>> There is a highway
